    I have a pressed ss brake hose kit on my car. One of them started leaking. So I learned from this and other similar videos that I can just make my own ss brake hose cheaper than the ready pressed ones, which are now super expensive, thanks to the inflation. So I bought 1m an3 hose, shortened it down via taping and angle grinder and installed the fittings to the ends. Everything looked just fine. After I installed the hose to my car and started braking, both sides of the hose leaked from the fittings/olives and that's it. I bought a regular rubber hose and not a single problem! I think I'm done with these type of hoses. The pedal feel is worse but they're not overpriced and also, there is no risk of leaking. Never has been.

      +Salvador menacho To answer your question, Yes! This type of flexible hose using a PTFE tubing with a stainless steel woven cover is used on motorcycles now, as well as boats. On boats with I/O drives (Internal engine / outside drive) they use stainless steel tubing along with this PTFE type pipe covered with the SS mesh is required to lift the drive up or down to get the correct angle while boating to keep the prop in the water. A high pressure pump inside connects to this pipe to flex thru the range of motion. Many custom builders, Tech's and DIY'ers use this line on custom builds and race cars or just for show. Without checking the SAE website, I believe system pressures can reach 3,000 PSI, but tested to higher pressures as engineering rules usually to be safe exceed the max system load by 3 times the working pressure. Your good to go, but what you are doing by watching this video is research to see materials, process and use. This is smart as automotive techs, in shops or dealerships have the best results when they follow best practices. Sad the guy didn't respond to your post. Retired ASE Master tech.

  • @dankierson
    @dankierson ปีที่แล้ว

    Fine. But it's not usual to have hydraulic oils in a plastic pipe line since components of the oil may be solvents for that polymer.
    How about a braided steel brake line with a black neoprene sheath and male or female connectors either end?
    This would be reliable and flexible.

    • @ChopperMeir
      @ChopperMeir 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The PTFE lining is perfectly made for use with oils/petrol. Pretty much any serious competition car you see will have these fitted to them rather than rubber. For brakes they give a sharper feel due to no flex like standard rubber types and are a much better solution for for custom fuel lines, as the rubber lined cheap stuff permeates allowing fuel to evaporate and the smell is horrendous.

    • @deankay4434
      @deankay4434 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jaroslav Maksimiuk This type of PTFE piping with SS mesh covering is used on cars, boats, motorcycles, air planes, etc. Anything that will experience vibration and movement where a hard line would fail over time. The pipe like this, may have a little expansion during pressure cycles, but is limited & protected by the SS covering. SAE approved for brakes, fuel and other applications. Many show cars, restorations and tech sue this type of piping when building a project and will last for years. Only some discussion of ethanol mix fuels has pointed out that some level of brittleness may occur over time due to exposure, but use on "Flex-Fuel" lines from the factory, like GM. Hope this helps. Too bad they did not reply earlier. ASE Master since 1978, retired.

    @georgesaint4417 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have edited my last comment, 4 out 4 joints leaked, this idea is really hit or miss. The principle is good, but in practice they are awful. To get my bike back on the road I had to pack the inside of the fittings and around the olive with a two part plastic padding. I then tighten the joint leaving the two part plastic to go hard and seal around the minute gaps that were causing the leaks.1 hour later, brake line purged of air and no leaks. If you have the same problem it's the only solution if your stuck with these fittings. I would have liked to have seen this guys joint bench tested with fluid. This solution is tight, it does not leak. th-cam.com/video/rQKE2JithzY/w-d-xo.html

      Using flexible pipe the entire length of the car causes you to loose the pedal feel, think of it like this when you press the brake pedal the hoses move a little, now if you did it to an entire car when you press the pedal much of the energy would be used to move the hose, thus less effecient
